This technology allows for live cells to be maintained over extended periods of time so that the impacts of different environmental factors and perturbations of the cells can be studied.&nbsp;The tool is thought to be particularly useful for studying the impacts of nanoparticle materials on live cells.The technology includes an enclosure designed to produce an environment suitable for growing and maintaining the live cells for an extended period of time, a functionalized layer of materials to facilitate cell growth and attachment to the sample crystal, and a system for interfacing the device with a spectroscopic instrument.&nbsp; The technology has been used to study the impacts of silica nanoparticles and tumor promoters on live cells.&nbsp; It is specifically designed to work in conjunction with Attenuated Total Reflectance (ATR)/FTIR.]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 04 Aug 2009 15:36:18 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Supported Cesium Heteropoly Acid Solid Acid Catalysts]]></title><link>http://availabletechnologies.pnl.gov/technology.asp?id=278</link><description><![CDATA[Cesium (Cs) heteropoly acid solid acid catalysts show high aromatic alkylation activity with non-polar reactants, but are micron-sized particles that cannot be used in fixed bed or slurry type reactors due to pressure drop and filtration problems.&nbsp;Also, as these salts are insoluble, catalyst preparation via impregnation is not possible.&nbsp;Presented here is a mesoporous silica supported Cs heteropoly acid catalyst.&nbsp; In this synthetic preparation, mesoporous silica is first impregnated with aqueous Cs2CO3 via the incipient wetness method, dried, and calcined.&nbsp;Following this, tungstophosphoric acid (TPA) was impregnated also using the incipient wetness method with organic solvents.]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2009 14:03:40 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fluorine Abatement: Non-thermal Plasma for the Destruction of Fluorine in Semiconductor Operations]]></title><link>http://availabletechnologies.pnl.gov/technology.asp?id=277</link><description><![CDATA[Fluorine containing gases (e.g. F2, NF3, SiF4, CF4, etc.) are environmental hazards and must be remo]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 20 Jul 2009 13:57:49 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Binary Cultivation in Photobioreactors]]></title><link>http://availabletechnologies.pnl.gov/technology.asp?id=267</link><description><![CDATA[Scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have developed a new approach to converting solar energy, water, and CO2 into small molecule precursors, fatty acids, lipids, proteins, and other value-added products.&nbsp;The approach uses binary cultivation&mdash;inside photobioreactors&mdash;to facilitate growth by creating a closed system in which the metabolic by-products of one organism are used to fuel the metabolism in the other.]]></description><pubDate>Wed, 10 Jun 2009 11:01:31 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enhanced Detection Technology for Mass Spectrometry and Other Analytical Instruments (All the Signal All the Time)]]></title><link>http://availabletechnologies.pnl.gov/technology.asp?id=266</link><description><![CDATA[Charged particle detection is necessary for the identification, monitoring and concentration determi]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 13 Apr 2009 12:28:47 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Improved Electrospray Technology]]></title><link>http://availabletechnologies.pnl.gov/technology.asp?id=264</link><description><![CDATA[Electrospray is a mainstay ionization method for liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS).&nb]]></description><pubDate>Mon, 30 Mar 2009 09:23:47 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Medical Radioisotope Y-90 Generator]]></title><link>http://availabletechnologies.pnl.gov/technology.asp?id=261</link><description><![CDATA[High-purity radiochemical processing is one of many resident expertises at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.&nbsp;This signature capability is critical for preparing radioisotopes for special applications in medicine, research, and national security.&nbsp;Researchers at PNNL have developed a small, inexpensive generator prototype for the production of the medical isotope yttrium-90 (Y-90), a short-lived beta-emitting radionuclide that can be milked and purified from its parent radioisotope, strontium-90 (Sr-90).At present Y-90, a&nbsp;radioactive isotope used in drugs for the treatment of various cancers, including lymphoma, leukemia, ovarian, colorectal, pancreatic, and bone cancers, is produced at limited locations in the United States.&nbsp;The preparation of a highly pure yttrium-90 product for use as a therapeutic drug product component is a significant challenge.&nbsp;The medical isotope&nbsp;has been approved for at least one life-saving cancer drug.]]></description><pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2009 15:44:09 GMT</pubDate></item>
